See you are duped by evolutionary thinking to be blinded to the obivous that genetic material loses information, not gains it.

SO begins man's so march 'back into the muck', eh?

I think not ...

You have a strong, but limited knowledge on these subjects brother, I'll give you that, but no more.

I agree with you, Prof. I know there is The Supreme Being. And I can accept evolutionary science. I don't think the evolutionary book is complete, as yet. The Bible was written by man, inspired by God. What was man's level of comprehension at that time? How did man get God's message to God's followers? I do think there is much allegory and that does NOT detract from the existance of God.

Nor do I, never really have. I wouldn't presume to rule out various possibilities of how G*d goes and has gone about His business.

However, regarding this particular "find", there is a strong tendency among archaeologists and other "experts" to say such and such article is so many years old with little or no real evidence. Stone cannot be carbon dated. It's not an organic material. They can only date organic material which may happen to be at the same strata and confirmed to be directly associated with the piece of rock in question.

I don't see in this article exactly how they came up with the 7,000 BCE (9,000 year old) figure. Basing it on the way it was made being similar to other "verified" artifacts is one trick they use but this layman finds that logic shaky at best.
